TARRYTOWN, N.Y.  A party at the Community Opportunity Center of Tarrytown earlier this month left the building in a mess that cost more than $800 to clean up, the center's director reported to police. The director also told police three garbage cans were missing after the party.

Police say the center called to report the weekend damage at the Wildey Street building around 9 a.m. on Aug. 6. The police report said the center was left in a state of disarray that required significant clean-up.

The privately owned center told police it was checking on who rented the room and planned to file a lawsuit.
